Drop off/Pick up Reminder
Lockers
If your child has a need for a locker, please email smcwilliams@scuc.txed.net
Most students don’t use a locker as passing periods are 4 minutes long. We have talked to teachers about composition books staying in classrooms to lighten backpacks. Thank You!

Volunteer Opportunities
New Law Regarding Vape Pens, e-cigarettes, Cartridges, and Oils
Please see the correspondence below from the SCUC district regarding New Vaping Laws.
MySchool Bucks/Lunch
MySchoolBucks is used for payments for school meals. You can add money to your child's account, view account balances and recent purchases, and set up notifications for upcoming payments-from the convenience of your home, office, or on-the-go with mobile app.
Visit https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/getmain?requestAction=home to get started.
Transportation
Registration for bus transportation is now open.
The Zonar MyView app for SCUC ISD. You will be able to use this to track your student’s bus to and from school as well as receive important messages about bus updates, delays or changes.
You will need the SCUC ISD access code: SCH3368, your student’s bus number and student ID number to begin setting up the app.
One important tip is to not input the “leading zero” in on the student ID number. For example, if your student ID is 0123456, only input 123456 – your student's name should show up on the app. If you need assistance there is a help link in the app that will send an email to the transportation staff and we can assist you.
